What Do Groundhogs Have to Do with Sailing?
What Do Groundhogs Have to Do with Sailing?
I'm a northerner ... and a sailing nut: Last years season started amazingly on Mar 19th. A beautiful eighty four degree day. Thinking back, I had to get rid of a groundhog about six weeks prior that had been digging around my house. Hmmmm, I'm not normally a superstitious kind of guy. I don't hate groundhogs, actually cute little furry things. I love to see them playing in the neighbors yard.
If it looks like it's going to be sunny on Feb 2, here's my plan to hedge against a late start.

Looking forward to beginning the season in March once again!

I want a boat that drinks 6, eats 4, and sleeps 2.

I too had a ground hog that made his home behind my house. Last summer my son decided to remove it (permanently.) Maybe this is his revenge from above.
Bruce, I watched your video and remember what they taught us in sailing school: "ONE HAND FOR THE BOAT- ONE HAND FOR THE BEER". I know it was something like that.

Bruce, thanks for the video, helped the sailing withdrawls.
...let me find the link to the beverage holders I use. I have had the boat heeled to 35 degrees and never spilled a drop
